Get Value From User?


  • Subject: Get Value From User?
  • From: Paul Cook <email@hidden>

Is there anyway from any kind of any Installer script (preflight, postflight, etc.) to ask the user for a value and to get that value from within a script? (Bash, Perl, AppleScript, etc.)

In this case, we'd like to ask the user for a name of something. And then use that name within a script.

My fear based on the answer to the recent progress question is that the answer is probably No. But this is just different enough that I thought it might be worth hoping otherwise.

Thanks for any help,

Paul
